Villa Bagatelle

Located less than a block from the Atlantic Ocean in the heart of South Beach, Villa Bagatelle is the first hotel in the wildly successful family of Bagatelle bistros, whose locations conjure up images of some of the world’s most fabulous and très chic destinations, including St. Barth, São Paulo and St. Tropez. Mirroring the style and sophistication of the brand’s fashionable bistros found in sun-splashed Los Angeles, St. Barth, São Paulo and St. Tropez, this romantic Collins Avenue newcomer introduces the Mediterranean’s signature joie de vivre to South Beach
